2600 in 2006 > Cost sharing

Posted 24 November 2009

Imagine that a restaurant were to announce to 100 diners--all strangers--that they would be splitting the tab. If a diner wanted to buy a $50 glass of wine, it would only cost him $0.50; on the other hand, it would also cost the other 99 diners $0.50. If the diner decided instead to have a $2 soda or a $5 glass of wine,...


2600 in 2006 > Question for Obama supporters

The novel-length Christmas-tree piece-of-Sith legislation the Senate just passed will do nothing to resolve...


2600 in 2006 > Star Castle, anyone?

Posted 03 August 2008

Here's a rough kernel test for the 'rings'. This should be quite workable in a real game if everything is flickered at 30Hz (player ship, one shot, enemy fireball, and two chaser mines). Hold player 1 fire to slow down the animation; hold player 2 fire to disable the shift-in data. Color/BW toggles 30Hz flicker. The funny 8x8 block...
